Barcelona director Mateu Alemany has admitted the club are “conditioned” by financial fair play rules amid rumours they will sell Frenkie de Jong this summer.
De Jong has been strongly linked with Manchester United, with incoming manager Erik ten Hag reportedly wanting a reunion with the former Ajax midfielder at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old cost Barca £65million from Ajax in 2019 and has four years remaining on his Barca contract, but has emerged as a priority target for United.
Ten Hag worked with De Jong between 2017 and 2019 at Ajax and is understood to have contacted his agent , Ali Dursun, to discuss the possibility of a transfer this summer. United are set to lose Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic in the off-season and desperately need new midfielders.
